Hearing about this tournament, they were all understandably excited and also a little melancholic. After all, they were going to be constantly risking their lives afterwards. It was the last 'normal' human thing that they would do for a while.
Alicia was the most unhappy about this development because she had managed to get just a little bit of reprieve from that life and had no desire to get back to it.
However, sucking it up, they continued to train, even harder than before! Alicia would spend the first 2 hours of her training running while keeping calm and quiet.
She would walk and control her breathing, heart rate and motions. Meaning, she would take step after step, making sure that each was quieter than the last.
After about a month, her steps, breaths and heartbeat are so quiet that a normal person wouldn't realize that she was behind them! However, she still does make noise when walking, they are just quieter.
